Full Album Listen for "UZU" by SUGAR SOUL
I do not distinctively remember how I got clued to Sugar Soul, more likely enjoying a CD single on public listening at either Tower records or HMV, and I very rarely buy "CD Singles"... But I have a modest collection of CD singles and this album, listenable in full here today.
"Uzu" (うず, "Swirl") is a 2000-release (May 24) by Warner, featuring a mixture of rock, hip-hop soul , trip hop, boom bap, and R&B funk which I adore (likened to Toshio Kubota, Bird, M-FLOW and its ilk), and even a taste of reggae (Track "iiyo").

WHO-IS: Sugar Soul (シュガー・ソウル, Shugā So'uru) was a Japanese three-member R&B group which formed in 1996. They soon made their debut in January 1997 on the Flava Records label. The members featured DJ Hasebe (programming), Aiko Machida (vocals) and Kawabe (composer).[1] The band achieved success with the single "Garden" in 1999, which featured Kenji Furuya of Dragon Ash. The band was seen as one of the prominent new R&B-style musicians in Japan in the late 1990s.
In 2001, the band went on a permanent hiatus after the release of the single "Soulmate." Vocalist Aiko went on to become the vocalist of drum and bass band Kam in 2010. (Wiki)
